Scientific foundations for an IUCN Red List of ecosystems.

TL;DR: A new conceptual model for ecosystem risk assessment founded on a synthesis of relevant ecological theories is presented, providing a consistent, practical and theoretically grounded framework for establishing a systematic Red List of the world’s ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution mapping of world grassland types

TL;DR: This paper developed a broad definition of grassland as a distinct biotic and ecological unit, noting its similarity to savanna and distinguishing it from woodland and wetland, and integrated International Vegetation Classification (IVC) grassland types with the map of Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (TEOW).
Journal ArticleDOI

Diameter distributions and structural sustainability in forests

TL;DR: In this article, the minimum area required to sample the smallest number of trees necessary to produce a negative exponential distribution was calculated, depending on the maximum diameter and the exponential decrease rate of the distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring and evaluating the ecological integrity of forest ecosystems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a protocol to evaluate the ecological integrity of temperate zone, forested ecosystems, based on long-term monitoring data and identified metrics of status and trend in structure, composition, and function of forests impacted by multiple agents of change.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative framework for broad‐scale plot‐based vegetation classification

TL;DR: A framework to facilitate comparisons between broad-scale plot-based classification approaches, based on the distinction of four structural elements (plot record, vegetation type, consistent classification section and classification system) and two procedural elements (classification protocol and classification approach).
